Yeah that would be an excellent compost, the seaweed and cow manure. I wish I had the access here to make it like that, I surely would. As it is I buy a super high quality cow manure/compost blend, castings, and add kelp, crab meal, neem meal, alfalfa pellets, rock dust, gypsum, dolomite lime, and a few other things to a coco coir/peat/perlite blend as my base mix. Then I top dress as needed with worm castings, or whatever amendment it seems I may need in the coming month. It works well for me, my plants tend to stay very healthy. Once in a while a certain strain will surprise me and be a huge calcium hog or something, but overall it's a good system. Just add water. Even better if it's rainwater, and better still if it's from a thunderstorm (carries nitrogen with it then). But late in the season, as buds mature, I don't want so much rain. The key is to grow things that work in your climate.
